update:

well i was looking at it again, and i turned it on and left it on for a while, and i noticed that now the 3 projectors will come on for a few seconds then turn back off. never had it on long enough for it to do that before. sometimes they will stay on 5-30 seconds before that turn back off for a few minutes. just checking to see if that will help get the amount of things down it could be.
